Touraine Le Chenin de la Colline 2021, Domaine de la Garrelière
A monumental white for charisma, finesse, and stylistic rigor. The olfactory profile alternates noble white fruits with mineral and floral notes of extreme refinement. On the palate, it is straight, savory, and characterized by a masterful balance between the strength of the grape and the verticality of the sip. A stylistic demonstration that represents the essence of the Loire.
Touraine Le Chenin de la Colline 2021, Domaine de la Garrelière
The Touraine "Le Chenin de la Colline" 2021 by Julien Prevel is a monumental work, a pure and vibrant interpretation of the Chenin Blanc grape in the Les Loges terroir. Produced with a handcrafted and respectful approach, this wine reflects the verticality and tension typical of the Loire Valley. The 2021 vintage was fresh and classic, giving the wine a citrusy lift and masterful expressive clarity. On the nose, it is a concert of rare elegance: crisp notes of green apple, kaiser pear, and elderflower merge with deep hints of lime zest, fresh hay, and a mineral trail reminiscent of silica and chalk. On the palate, it is lively, structured, and sumptuous; the entry is direct, dominated by noble and vibrant acidity, with an aristocratic balsamic freshness that extends the sip toward a savory, endless, and crystalline finish.
